Fundamentals of Applied Kinesiology

Question 1

Kinematics

Answer 1

study of form, pattern or sequence of movement without regard to forces involved

Question 2

kinetics

Answer 2

describes the effects of forces on the body

Question 3

law of inertia

Answer 3

a body in rest/motion will stay in rest/motion unless an external force is acted against it

Question 4

Law of acceleration

Answer 4

F=ma

Question 5

law of reaction

Answer 5

every applied force is accompanied by an equal and opposite reaction

Question 6

Four types of motion

Answer 6

rotary, translatory, curvilinear, and general plane of motion

Question 7

rotary motion

Answer 7

object turning about fixed point (elbow-karate chop)

Question 8

translatory motion

Answer 8

body segment is not tied down and all parts move in straight line at same speed (sliding arm out to grab a cup)

Question 9

Curvilinear motion

Answer 9

similar to the path of ball thrown (combo of translatory and rotary)

Question 10

general plane motion

Answer 10

simoultaneously linear and rotary (riding a bike, rotary motion in lower body, but whole body is moving linearly)

Question 11

Motive vs Resistive force

Answer 11

Motive is force that speeds up and resistive slows down

Question 12

isometric

Answer 12

muscle tension is created but there is no apparent length

Question 13

what plane is flexion and extension

Answer 13

saggital

Question 14

what plane is abduction adduction

Answer 14

frontal

Question 15

what plane is internal and external rotation

Answer 15

transverse

Question 16

Torque equation

Answer 16

FxFa(forceX length of lever arm)

Question 17

three classes of levers

Answer 17

Wheel barrel, crow bar

Question 18

agonist

Answer 18

prime mover, muscle that causes a desired motion

Question 19

antagonist

Answer 19

muscle that opposes the action of the agonist

Question 20

synergist

Answer 20

muscles that assists the agonist

Question 21

closed chain movement

Answer 21

the end of chain is fixed (squat) and require more muscles than open

Question 22

open chain movement

Answer 22

end of chain is free (seated leg extension)

Question 23

Joint mobility

Answer 23

the range of uninhibited movement around a joint or body segment

Question 24

joint stability

Answer 24

the ability to maintin or control joint movement

Question 25

lordosis

Answer 25

increased anterior lubar curve

Question 26

kyphosis

Answer 26

increase posterior thoracic curve

Question 27

Scoliosis

Answer 27

lateral spinal curvature

Question 28

axial skeleton

Answer 28

forms the core of the body

Question 29

core anatomy

Answer 29

superfiiscial muscles are responsible for movement and deeper muscles are for stabilization for spine

Question 30

symptoms of obesity

Answer 30

hypertension, dyslipidemia type 2 diabetes, stroke
